They camped out that first summer, became acquainted with the Hendricks, and spent some time helping in the pea harvest during summers following. In 1938 the Conleys built their first home, "The Good Ship Conley", on the east side of Logan Road some distance south from the Hendricks house. At that time there were about 20 homes on the beachfront, but the Conley house was among the first constructed east of the road. About this time they bought 40 acres in another tract and subsequently traded this tract with Mr. Hendricks for 5 acres in Roads End and called the new property the "Conley Addition". They subdivided it into sixty lots, selling off most of them to individual buyers over a period of several years building five houses themselves, living in one while building another.
